Older people living alone
In 2017, 64-year-old Tiniko had a cancerous tumor removed from her bladder, but no money was left for follow-up checkups or tests for the poor woman! Instead, they gave her construction materials so she wouldn’t die early under the ruins of her house—a house worse and more terrifying than anything we’ve seen in all our years of work! Oh, and they gave her 50 lari a month to live on! Just look at this crooked shack, standing on rotten beams. Now imagine, for a second, this elderly woman being tasked with rebuilding her house. Such care, right? Oh Lord, Lord, don’t judge harshly those who do not know you! Read this post to the end, and feel this tragedy with your heart, kind people!

Ill children
When he was just a month and a half old, he had heart surgery. However, it wasn’t enough. The child’s condition is still critical, and according to doctors, he may need a second, more complex surgery, which requires further tests. The poor single mother doesn’t have the money to take them to the doctor. What I’m about to tell you, dear readers, is truly horrifying, and it is very hard for me to write these words, but you need to know this. The twin brothers have only one teat, and when they both cry at the same time, their mother has to take turns giving it to them. God, just the thought of this is enough to drive someone mad.

Look at this photo! For a moment, it might seem as though someone opened a grave and photographed someone long deceased. But 43-year-old Indira is still alive. Her heart still beats. But this young woman is being consumed alive by stage four cancer. Two years ago, while pregnant with her third child, she was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. She was operated on fifteen times in just a month and a half. God, it’s hard to believe. Since June, she’s been unconscious in intensive care.

One fateful day, the peaceful village of Babi in the Kharagauli municipality was engulfed by the terrifying roar of fire. The house where eight children lived was completely consumed by flames. Thank God, all the children made it out unharmed, but imagine how painful it must be to see your beloved home, your cherished belongings, books, and toys burned to ashes. The family lived in poverty and didn’t own a single valuable item, but our love for things doesn’t come from their price. Sometimes expensive things mean nothing to us. Sometimes a cheap item is far more precious. Friends of the Fund, winter is coming soon to the mountain village, and these little angels will have to bathe outside in the freezing cold. Then, after catching colds, they’ll lie down on sheets spread out on the floor, because they don’t have beds. Cold wind will blow in through the broken window onto the sick children. There’s no pharmacy in the village. Somehow, these children survived last winter. But they won’t make it through another…

Irma chains to a rusty bed in a five-square-meter dark room and suffers… The woman has no husband or children. Her parents are also dead. Yes, the poor woman is completely alone and cannot even get out of bed to drink water. Irma was completely healthy, but the death of her beloved mother affected her so much that she developed an insidious disease. The woman began having problems with mobility back in 2009. However, due to poverty, she was unable to see a doctor. Poor Irma’s health worsened after the death of her mother. In 2019, doctors diagnosed the poor woman with multiple sclerosis.

The last thing she remembers from the good life is how happy she was when she left home on November 10th. This is how Inga looked like before she got sick, in 2017… On that wonderful and happiest day in her life, she was in seventh heaven with a beautiful fabric she bought for a coat. She dreamed of how she would show off in it, how it would suit her! And that’s it… Then darkness befell her for many days.

Needles keep piercing her heart all day long. The first one starts to prick when she has nothing to put on to school. Mom washed her only blouse, and now she has to cover the darned holes in her jacket with hand.
The second needle starts to prick on her way to school. The school is far away, and it is very difficult for her to walk. She has heart problems since childhood. The next needles appear when she cannot buy a bun at school. Everyone eats, but she does not. She says she is not hungry. And her heart starts hurting even more: either because of lying, or from hunger. And so it goes on every day… By the end of the day, there are hundreds of needles in her heart, and they sting a lot. Sometimes they prick her so hard that tears start coming from her eyes…

Did you know that if you do not eat for a very long time, then your tummy starts to rumble? Sometimes it rumbles so loud that even the neighbors can hear it. Did you know that to stop rumbling, you need to lie on your stomach and hug a teddy bear? Try it! Mariam, 8, and Anano, 7, say it helps. That is how they lay, trying to pacify the “rumbling tummy”.

When 5-year-old Nini lit up like a torch, her mother lost consciousness with fear and fell down the stairs. Neighbors extinguished the fire on the girl and took off her burning clothes along with her skin… The emergency brigade from the city came four hours later, it was four hours of real hell! The screams and sobs of the baby reached the neighboring villages, and the lamentations of the mother – right up to heaven!

They are afraid of their house, they are afraid that the roof, which they could not fix after the fire, will collapse on their heads. They miraculously managed to escape from the fire, but they will certainly die under their roof. “It will probably bring relief to many people,” – Gulnazi says. There is no irony in her words. She really thinks so. She also thinks that their family is superfluous, because no one cares about them.

There are five little children in the Bagalishvili family. The sixth is about to be born. Four children are sick. Not helplessly yet. But they’ll become soon. When there is no money to buy them food or clothes, it is in no way possible to carve out funds for a doctor, for tests, for the trip to the hospital, for medications. The monthly social allowance is enough either for flour and cheap food, or for the treatment of one child. Mom Nunu (35 years old) told me about these terrible things. And I try to imagine what a choice she faces every day. “It feels like they gave me a gun and said: “Choose who to kill.” If you want to treat Tamara and Tengo – Temuri, Tika and Tornike will starve to death. And if you want your children to be well-fed (actually “well-fed” – this is too strong word), then it will be impossible to treat them. Something like that”. Have you ever faced such a choice? What would you choose? Please advise!
